Otakon and Detroit

It's too easy to make fun of the Otakon masked avengers. They're here. They dress up. They leave. We're back to the insanity we know. Not much to it, really. I can't write about it too much anyway because I'm too scared to infiltrate this crowd and when I went to stare from a safe distance I didn't take my camera. So here's one from Flickr:


On another note, Baltimore has been having a crime-contest with Detroit for a while. Sometimes we're the murder capital, and sometimes it's Detroit. But while statistics recently show reduction in violent crime in Baltimore, and while boxes have been taken in and out of Mayor Dixon's house with no proof of wrongdoing, it seems as though the mayor of Detroit has finally decided Detroit deserves the upper hand. So congratulations, Detroit residents. You're officially more messed up than us Baltimoreans. Baltimorians. Whatever.
